2015:ArtSpeak: ImagineMarch 5th, Sponsored by Highrock Church

Artspeak is an art show, auction, and concert. The purpose of this event is to raise awareness about human-trafficking and to raise money for Amirah--a safe house for sex-trafficking survivors. Guest speakers include the Amirah house director and several residents reading poems from their recent Free2Write poetry workshop. All proceeds go to Amirah. "Artspeak stands on the side of hope in the belief that we have a voice in the fight against human-trafficking."

"The 'Learn to Lead' theme of this year's National Assembly was designed to provide women, young women and mothers alike, with insights and practical tools for leadership. Through nurturing and educating women to understand their God-given role at this time, the hope was to empower women to use their gifts and talents to lead their families and others successfully by applying the motto: Living for the Sake of Others."
